Dear boss

Why can't you stop micromanaging and let everyone get on with the jobs you hired us to do?

Dear self

Stop procrastinating.

Dear period

Why must you always malignantly wait until I'm wearing pink knickers before you put in an appearance? Angry

Dear mum,

I love you lots and I'm very glad I have you in my life. But I don't know how many different ways of saying "Grandma will carry on treating you badly until you stop letting her" I can come up with any more. Either call her on her bad behaviour or ignore it.

Dear ex,

Yes it's great that you've finally managed to spend a few months sober for the first time in decades. Welcome back to the real world. No, that does not mean I am going to instantly forget everything that's happened in the past or that I am now convinced that you'll now be sober forever more. I don't trust you and for very good reasons. Live with it. Oh, and stop trying to use our DCs as your mouthpiece. Ta.

Dear DCs,

You're bloody fantastic you are. I am so incredibly proud of both of you. Hopefully you already know this. Love you lots!

Dear Children,

Could you please get a move on with the growing up and leaving home, so that the house is tidier, I don't have to spend my entire life in a deathly dull cycle of Sainsburys/cooking/clearing up, and I have much more money to spend on myself.

Thank you.

OTheHugeManatee · 14/04/2011 17:46

Dear period. While I'm talking to you, there's another thing. Why must you always blimming well wait until I haven't seen DP for ages and am in need of a shag some affection? Angry

Dear small bit of trapped wind in my lower bowel,

Please move a long now, I don't mind if you cause a stink but you're really getting on my wick.

Many thanks in advance for your co-operation in this matter.

Headfairy

Dear Readers of this thread,

I apologise for writing such terribly boring drivel about farts and parking when you're all writing such touchingly poignant things about your children and loved ones.

Dear bloke at work,

Thank you

Dear DD,

Please draw breath.

Dear DS,

You can be off my knee, or on my knee, but please stop the constant climbing and descending. Your elbows are quite sharp and my bosoms can't handle it.

Dear attractive, smiling, floppy-haired young man who just served me in shop,

You made me feel 19 again.

Dear DH,

You are going to get lucky tonight (see above)

alistron1 · 14/04/2011 18:04

Dear car,

Please stop falling apart, it would be nice to have a week where one of the tyres didn't need replacing,

Love

Alistron.

Dear dinner,

Please cook yourself,

Love,

Please call me, or answer your phone.
Love you always

Dear DH

I know that you and the DC are already on the way home from MiL's, but could you consider a long trip to the zoo before you get here? Meal out? Maybe a trip to a nightclub until 3am?

Just some way of extending my two days of blissful peace and the comfort of having a place for everything and everything it its place.

Love

Waltons

LonelyLinda · 14/04/2011 18:13

Dear Mum

You're a selfish, stubborn stupid cow who has cut her nose off to spite her face and now have a very distant realtionship with your daughter and grandchildren rather than doing the right thing.

Fuck off you bore the shit out of me.

Linda

Dear Bad Tooth
You have made my life a misery for years. It is like you know how scared I am of the dentist.
You have 3.5 days left. Consider this your eviction notice.
G

Dear Dentist
Appologies in advance, but I will be high as fuck when I see you on Monday. I know you are a nice man who will take the pain away. I know that. Fear isn't logical Sad Without a handful of Valium, there is no way I can cross the thresshold into your office.
G

Dear Sister
Thank you for making my appointment for me. Thank you for agreeing to drive me, and hold my hand. I really couldn't do this without you.
Sometimes you drive me batty. Then time like this show me why I love you so much.

Dear Chocolate Nesquik

Please redesign your packaging to be more appropriate for a 31-year-old-without-children so that said 31-year-old doesn't feel like an idiot buying it at the supermarket.

With fondest regards,

Imps

Tillyscoutsmum · 14/04/2011 18:14

Dear Zit

You are enormous and have situated yourself in a very awkward position. Why must you appear across the entirety of my eyebrow the day before I am due to go out on a night out for the first time in ages ?. You have made me look ridiculous and you are extremely painful. Kindly fuck off

Thanks

TSM

chrisonabike · 14/04/2011 18:15

Dear PND

Please can you fuck off and thereby facilitate the return of happy chrisonabike who could smile at cherry blossom and not be afraid to look people in the eye.

Best regards.

LonelyLinda · 14/04/2011 18:15

Dear DH

Start spending time with your beautiful children and wife and not at the pub with your mates. It is getting boring now.

Linda

Goodynuff · 14/04/2011 18:16

Dear DH
I can't belive you are coming home, even if it is only for 4 days! I am so excited. And giddy. And horny. I haven't seen you in 2 months, and I miss you so very much.

Dear Period
If you dare to show up while DH is home, I will truly loose it.
Stay the fuck away!

Dear BIL

Words cannot describe how much I despise a man who plays around when his wife is 35 weeks pregnant with their second child.

I never, ever want to have my sister sobbing broken-heartedly on my shoulder again because you have decided to muck around with some other woman. Take this as a promise- you will not like how I am if it happens again. You have been given a second chance. Use it well.

Shodan.

hardhatdonned · 14/04/2011 18:20

Dear Ex,

You're a cock.

Signed.
